Some like making sinardinas na bangus with scales but kids prefers it without so don't worry you can either leave the fish scales or just remove it. You can also use other fish such as tamban tuloy or small mackerel or sardines. You can also store them in an airtight container for later. I would suggest keeping them in a refrigerator and heat as needed. Add more chili peppers if you prefer it more spicy.
